Good question, Barefut. I was like that as a kid and during the summer I find it difficult to keep shoes on except when I go out. In winter it is mostly thick socks in and lined boots when I go out.

My display name was given to me many years ago by one of my production crew. He used it a bit sarcastically as it was difficult for him to take direction from a woman. It stuck, however, and the rest of the group joined in. I have been using it online for many years. Jefa (pronounced HAY' fa) is the feminine version of the Spanish word jefe which means chief or boss. My actual id is jefalump which is one of my husband's nicknames for me - chief lump, a play on heffalump - he buys me all kinds of cute little elephants. :)

Well, mine isn't very creative and I don't think it could get any simpler. First letter of my name. Venessa. Only my closest friends have ever called me Vee, so I thought it would fit in nicely on the sclero boards, especially since you've all become so close to my heart. I also have another screen name that I sometimes use. It's "mommydude". My middle daughter was in the habit of calling everyone "dude" for a while, and she called me that one night. I told her that she was not to call her mommy that. So she said, "OK Mommydude!" and I've used it ever since. Her and my youngest still call me that once in awhile. I thought it was cute.

Happy people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have!

Warm and Happy to you! Vee

Hi, Pamela. My first husband called me Sweetie because he didn't like either of my names, so we both called each other Sweetie most of the time. Once I asked my three year old son to call his father for dinner and he stood in the hall and yelled, "Sweetie, dinner's ready!"

I am really enjoying this thread. All of them, really -- it's nice to get to know a little more about my new friends.

My screen name comes from the ocean that I live near on the coast of New Jersey. I love the ocean and used to swim a mile a day in it before I got sick. Now I have a catheter in for kidney dialysis so I can't go in the water at all and it breaks my heart. It's "my ocean" but I share!

Doomer, Ok let's see. Where do I start. My last name is Doom. Go ahead and say it. I worked in the Emergency Room. Ok, Now that is a good one. How about Every Ready. The Rabbit got that one. I picked up that name at work. The girls would say things like lets all go to Doomer's house after work. Latte's Yumm! Then the kids in the neighborhood would say lets go to Doomer's house and see who will come out to play. So, I guess I should have used Doomer's instead of just Doomer. I have been Doomed and Double Doomed and triple Doomed. My oldest son is Dr. Doom PHD It is a strange German name that we love. Sheryl

Talk about brain fog. Gee whiz. I know you all noticed and were too kind to say anything. Screen Name. Duh! Sheryl. That's my name why not use it. I used it, because I like it. I was thinking email address name. O K ! I am now on the right page. Thank you very much. I've got it together this morning, I hope. Have a Warm and Thoughtful day. I am off to a Wedding this afternoon. A day of driving and resting and eating and relaxing. Fun! Sheryl

I also use my real name. I've never had a nickname and I'm not bright enough to pick a cute or original screen name. My only thing is that even though my name is spelled"Sherion" it is pronounced Sharon. I believe it came from bad penmanship on my birth certificate. LOL
